I do like a bad ass Santa. 👆

I'm sold. Looks Hella better than that damn Mel Gibson one from a coupla years ago. Didn't like that one at all.

I liked the Mel Gibson movie. Esp. the fact that it didn’t make him being Santa ambiguous.

That said, this upcoming flick seems like it’s gonna lean into the Santa lore HARD, which I’m really hyped about!

I watched this.

It's goofy and corny, but it also has its moments of entertainment.

6/10 or so.

I hate remakes.

i might watch sometime in january

must be thinking of another movie, This isn't a remake.

It's actually more like 5/10 from me. Tonally it's all over the place.

Unless you really like Santa mythology mixed with adult violence it's pretty stupid.

It's not Die Hard with a Santa Claus theme?

I've seen that the movie is on Prime Video but have to rent or buy it. I'll wait until it free to watch.

Probably will be a hard pass from me. I didn't really care for this.

Speaking to Collider at SXSW this week, where the pair were promoting their new movie The Fall Guy, McCormick confirmed that plans for Violent Night 2 and Nobody 2 are currently being fleshed out.
